TIME BASE CORRECTOR CONTROL FUNCTION
LQ-3031T/LQ-3032T can be connected to an external TBC (Time Base Corrector)/Frame Synchronizer. When connected to the
equipment as outlined below the following functions can be enabled:
• Seamless Search
The still image of the current frame will be retained when the player engages the search mode. After the optical head searches the
new target frame, the memory in the TBC is refreshed and the new image is displayed on the monitor. This function is referred to as
Seamless Search because the output of the TBC does not cut to black during search time, but keeps the previous image on the
screen during the search mode.
• Field Still, Fine Slow
Since each TV frame is mode from two independent TV fields, flicker will sometimes appear on the screen when fast motion images
are recorded. To counter this negative image artifact there is a provision for successive field playback with this TBC interface card.
This effect is available in the slow and still playback modes.
Please connect according to the figure, and set the "3 STILL (EXT. TBC)" in the SYSTEM SETUP MENU of the SETUP function to
"FIE" and "4 SLOW (EXT. TBC)" to the "O/E" or "ODD". (Refer to page 32.)
• Field Still Mode
After a frame is searched only the first field of that frame will be played back. Then each time the @
or the S
button is
pressed, the still picture is advanced or retarded only one field at a time (not and entire frame). When this function is activated the
pictures on the screen will be displayed without annoying vibration.
• Fine Slow
When the unit is placed in the slow playback mode (1 /2 speed or less) playback is performed one field at a time. This function assures
ultra-smooth slow-motion playback without picture vibration.

VARIOUS MANUAL OPERATIONS
WHITE FLAG DETECTOR (Still Playback only)
1. The white flag is a signal (100% white peak) for inputting before the field to be played back so that each picture can be
played back correctly during Still Picture playback.
When a disc in which a white flag is entered is played back, the starting frame with the white flag is displayed.
2. White flag is convenient, as illustrated below, when 24 frames/sec. film is converted to 30 frames/sec. NTSC disc, for
example.

RECORDING VIDEO SIGNALS SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS [LQ-3031T only]
The following points require special attention when using a LQ-3031T to record video signals.
1. Standard Video signals
Please use standard video signals conforming to RS-170A. (See Fig. 41)
RS-170A specifies the following values,

Attempting to record signals that differ substantially from standard signals may result in the problems indicated below.
2. Color subcarrier frequency
The color subcarrier frequency used should comply with the 3.579545MHz±10Hz specification described above.
Since standard signal generators are generally expensive, there may be cases where use of non-standard signals is unavoidable. In these cases, the error should be kept to within ±50Hz.
Color may be lost if the frequency differs substantially.
-49-
3. Adjusting the recording level
The LQ-3031T recording level can be adjusted both automatically or manually.
When recording with automatic level adjustment, the recording level is adjusted by an AGC circuit as specified below.
1) Input
Gain
2) Input
Gain
amplitude less than 1.1Vp-p
is controlled to give a synchronizing signal amplitude of 0.286Vp-p.
amplitude greater than 1.1Vp-p
is controlled to give an amplitude no greater than 1.1Vp-p for the whole video signal.
The amplitude of the input signal should therefore be set to no more than 1.1Vp-p. If signals with larger amplitudes are
input, the size of the synchronizing signal component of the recorded signal may be reduced. If this happens, the following
problems may result:
1)
2)
3)
4)
Wavering images
Distorted images
Vertical Jitter
Inability to Gen Lock
When recording manually, the amplitude of the input signal synchronizing signal is detected, and a green LED lights up
when the level reaches the standard value. Excessive inputs do not compress the synchronizing signal when the recording
level is controlled manually.
However, when recordings are made manually, there may be points where there are extremely high level input video signals.
The following problems may occur at these points.
1) Black or white "grass" distortion, similar to dropouts.
2) White-out, or loss of detail.
The output signal from the camera should therefore be monitored by a waveform monitor or oscilloscope, to set the signal
to a standard level.
4. Input signals from the camera
The level of input signals from the camera varies greatly by adjustment of the camera and differences in lighting conditions.
In particular, if a light shines directly into the camera, part of the camera input is a very strong light. If this happens, the
exact result depends on the characteristics of the camera, but parts of the signal may have excessive amplitudes, even
if the camera adjustment is set with an auto-iris. This may result in the problems described in the preceding section.
(See Fig. 42)
To prevent this sort of problem, the video signals from the camera should be monitored by a waveform monitor or oscilloscope, so that if the output becomes too large, it can be adjusted manually or the illumination angle or distance and be altered.
Particular care should be taken to control the input signal level if the recording is to be used as a master for taking copies.

5. Special consideration when shooting small objects
The following special considerations apply when a camera is taking pictures of small object with a close-up lens or similar device.
(1) The type of close-up lense, lighting considerations and aperture greatly affect the depth of field. If the depth of field is
small, the parts that are not in focus appear blurred on the screen. This may produce color smear. One way of avoiding this is
increasing the lighting intensity to increase the depth of field. Another method is to raise the camera sensitivity and reduce the
aperture.
(2) When the object and the illumination are brought close together, there is a greater chance of the illumination entering the
camera directly or reflecting strongly into the camera lens. The camera output should be monitored carefully to adjust
the illumination untill a good output signal is obtained.
(3) If the background is while and is very close to the object, the color of the object may be reflected, coloring the background.
This can be avoided by moving the object and background further apart or by changing the background color so that the
reflected color is not obtrusive.
(4) Keep color saturation low. It provides a much better looking duplicate. Avoid recording images which have large amounts of
chroma which fall below 0 I.R.E. units.
6. Disc duplication considerations
When making a master disc for making copies be careful so time base errors and sync dropouts are not recorded into the
master; otherwise the duplicate will have the same errors, and they will tend to be magnified in the duplication process.
For this reason it is strongly recommended that a Time Base Corrector (TBC) be used to ASSURE quality recordings time after
time.1*11
1,11
Be sure to connect advanced vertical sync from the TBC when employing automatic frame duplication. This will assure frame
accurate duplication.
Also any playback source such as VCR or off air TV signal should be passed through a TBC or frame synchronizer to assure
quality recordings.
•
R E C O R D I N G F R O M A V C R [LQ-3031Tonly]
A. Direct recording from a VCR is possible, but
(1) The recording will be interrupted if a loss of video input is encountered.
(2) Time base errors will cause the image to waver or jitter upon playback (edit points are a good example). The disc will not
Gen Lock.
(3) Poor framing or poor sync on the source tape can cause random frames to be misrecorded or not recorded at all.
(4) Time base error from the tape will be impregnated into the disc; hence Gen Lock will be poor and copies will look terrible.
The examples cited here, and others, can cause only one field of the frame to be recorded; therefore the frame will be damaged
and unusable
the recorded check will detect the frame as blank but you will not be able to record there
the picture will blink on and off or be very unstable
and the Gen Lock function will be adversely affected.

A 512 bytes buffer for receiving and a 256 bytes buffer for transmission
Some completion responses have a delay time. It is noted in format for ON-LINE COMMAND.
2. DATA COMMUNICATION CONTROL
The unit can select 2 types of data communication control methods.
The main difference of these types is the Request To Send line (RTS) control. The following is the outline of each type.
(1) Data communication control type 1
Feature of type 1 is that the Request To Send line (RTS) indicates a receivable state. Consequently, the transmission
from the linked transmitter is controled by RTS.
Note:
«1» When RTS is in mark (OFF) condition, data is not received.
«2» When CTS and DSR are in the space (ON) condition, transmission is started.
(2) Data communication control type 2
Feature of type 2 is that the Request To Send line (RTS) indicates the transmission request condition to the linked
transmitter.
Note:
«1» When transmission request occurs and CTS is in mark (OFF) and DSR, DTR is in the space (ON) condition, RTS
in ON. When CTS is ON, data is transmitted.
«2» CTS starting depends on RTS.
3. TRANSMISSION CONTROL BY XON/XOFF
XON/XOFF controls data during transmission from receiver to transmitter, communicating that the receiving buffer is full,
and no more data can be received. This is governed by DC1 (11H=XON) and DC3 (13H=XOFF) of the transmission
control code.
When the residual receiving buffer becomes less, this operation transmits an XOFF code to the transmitter, requesting a
transmission stop. When buffer data processing advances, and some space become available in buffer, it transmits the
XON code, and causes the transmitter to transmit data.
With the unit, when the residual receiving buffer reaches 128 bytes, XOFF code is transmitted, and when it reaches 384
bytes, XON code is transmitted. The XON/XOFF operation is indicated in following diagram.
Receiving buffer

reaches less than 128, it transmits XOFF
and stop data transmission.

7. CONNECTION WITH DATA TERMINAL EQUIPMENT (DTE)
When the unit is connected with DTE, mutual communication can be done by connecting mutual input/output intervals with
selector switch (on the RS-232C interface card).
Another method of performing mutual communication is to use the cable connecting mutual input/output.
Example 1
Each data terminal reaches transmission possible status, regardless conditions at the other side. In order to prevent data loss it is
necessary to handshake each command, or use the XON/XOFF
control,
(use type 2 control)

4. INTERRUPT COMMAND
When a decoded command is an interrupt command, the interrupt command is executed first, even if other execution
commands are waiting in command buffer. The interrupt command with @ is stored in the command buffer as a sequential
command.
5. SEQUENTIAL COMMAND
The sequential command is stored in the command buffer, and is executed as a stored order. However, an ! (exclamation
mark) added sequential command is executed with priority as an interrupt command.
6. DESIGNATION OF THE STOP FRAME
Stop frame can be designated by relative address from the current frame, with an +,
designated by absolute address, (ex.; PF + 1000 :)
added command, it can also be
7. PROGRAMMING FUNCTION
The unit has program memory (memory area for program use). When program writing command "MS" is transmitted from
host computer, the commands transmitted after are loaded in program memory, the loading is stopped by writing completion
command "ME", then are stored in program memory. Stored content is sequentially executed, when program run command
is executed.
8. PROGRAMMING CAPACITY
Program memory has 8 k bytes. When larger than 8 k, the unit transmits % E34
\ as a memory overflow error.
9. BACK-UP IN PROGRAM
The content of program memory is backed up by a built-in battery, hence, even when power is OFF, program content is
maintained.
10. PROTOCOL OF THE EXECUTION END RESPONSE
Concerning protocol of On-line response, 16 selections are possible by ON-LINE commands.
11. HOW TO RETURN THE EXECUTION END RESPONSE
In the unit, messages are stored in transmission buffer as they are generated, and are transmitted in the same sequence.
12. CAPACITY OF TRANSMIT BUFFER
If the transmission buffer is full, or when the character string waiting transfer exceeds 256 bytes, the subsequent transmission data generated after this is not stored in the transmission buffer, it is truncated.
13. XON/XOFF CONTROL
When XON/XOFF control is enabled, if the residual receiving buffer exceed 128 bites. XOFF (11H) is transmitted and
stops host computer transmission, If the residual receiving buffer becomes less than 384 bites, XON (13H) is transmitted,
and allows host computer to transmit.
When XOFF (11H) is received, the unit stops transmission, then when XON (13H) is received, the unit restarts transmission.
14. EFFECTIVE ASCII CODE
Concerning received data.

16. DECK NUMBER (Logical unit number)
The unit has its own deck number (0-99). By adding this deck number at the beginning of command, only the designated
unit can be operated. Deck number is set up by using SETUP function.
At time of shipment, deck number is 0.
A command without deck number is effective in the unit having any deck number.
Note:
1. When RS-422A is used in multipoint connection, the controller has to allow only one unit's response and inhibit
others.
2. Concerning command which can not stop execution completion response, ie "NO",
when used in a multipoint connection, be certain to transmit with deck number on.
If above notes are not followed, transmissions of each unit will collide with each other, causing data transfer error or drive
IC destruction.
-61
3. DATA COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
When the unit normally executes commands from the host, it returns the execution completion response, (except monitor commands, the first 2 characters of the command are used).
When commands cannot be executed, or when executions are stopped due to an abnormality, an error response is returned,
explaining the abnormality, instead of an execution completion response. Abnormal responses are generally divided into communication errors and command execution errors.
The following are basic examples of data communications with host computers.

PROGRAMMING
1. PROGRAM FUNCTION
One program can be loaded to RAM (which is battery backed-up) via RS-232C interface and four programs can be loaded to
ROM (optional). Hence a total of 5 progrmas can be loaded at the same time.
However, some programs use common data area inside RAM.
If such a program is started, the data used another program may be destroyed.
Program can be started/stopped with the Remote Controller or computer. It also can be started automatically by SETUP, when
power is turned ON.
2. PROGRAM SUPPLY TYPES
Programs are of two types; RAM programs and ROM programs.
1. RAM programs: Compiles program commands (in ASCII code) loaded through a communication line i.e. RS-232C, then
internally writes it to installed RAM (program memory).
2. ROM programs: With special development tools, develop and compile the program, then writes it to ROM.

To ROM, only data can be written
Read only
Notes:
1. Data is used for searching tables, etc. The content of the area in ROM is used by loading to ROM when program is executed.
Hence, the content of the data area can be rewritten.
Rewritten data is battery backed up, and when the next program starts, the backed up data is used.
2. The program area, label area and data area of ROM program are set at ROM program development time.
3. Status register; register that indicates the unit operational conditions.

It is developed with an exclusive tool, and written to EP ROM.
5. PROGRAM EXECUTION
Methods for program execution:
1.
2.
3.
1.
Automatic start with power ON.
Start with the Remote Controller button.
Start with an On-line command.
Automatic start with power On.
Set on program automatic start via SETUP, the program designated by SETUP is automatically executed at power ON.
2.
Start with the Remote Controller button
The designated program via SETUP, is executed with the RUN button of the Remote Controller. If the number buttons
pressed before pressing RUN button, the program designated by the number buttons is executed.
Program numbers are 0 — 4.
-121 -
3.
Start with an On-line command
The designated program via SETUP is executed with an "RN" command.
The execution program can be designated ie. "RN3:".
6. STOPPING PROGRAM EXECUTION
There are three ways to stop program execution:
1.
2.
3.
Stopping with a program function ("EN" command)
Stopping with the Remote Controller ("RUN" button)
Stopping with an On-line command ("AC" command)
1.
Stopping with a program function
When "EN" command is executed by program, program execution is stopped.
When the next execution program is designated, ie. "EN2" the number two program is executed next.
2.
Stropping with the Remote Controller
By pressing the RUN button on the Remote Controller, program execution is stopped.
Note: This is a toggle function.
3.
When On-line command
The ALL CLEAR ("AC") command, stops execution.
7. REGISTERS FOR PROGRAMMING
1. Kinds of registers
There are three kinds of registers for programming:
1. General register
2. Status register
3. Timer register
128 words (16 bits each)
19 words (16 bits each)
3 words (16 bits each)
1. General Register
A general register, used for designating command parameters with a variable, has write and read capabilities, and is
used as a destination register and source register for each command. Adding an " * " (asterisk) before the register No.
declares it a general register.
2. Status register
Deck conditions are stored in a status register. With a read only capability, it is used as a source register for operation
instructions and data transfer instructions, and as a destination register and source register for Branch Commands. Adding
" # " (pound sign) before the register No. declares it a status register. (Refer to detailed explanation of status register.)
3. Timer register
There are 3 constantly counting timer registers that indicate seconds, minutes and hours. Both write and read capabilities
are possible, and timer registers are used as a destination register and source register for each command. Timer registers
are designated by adding an " * " (asterisk) before register No.128 (hours), register No.129 (minutes) and register No.130
(seconds.)

2. Index register
In addition to the above register areas, there is a 20 K bytes (10 K words) data area inside the unit. In order to write and
read in this data area, it is necessary to access indirectly by using a general register as an index register. By adding an
" [" (left bracket) before the general register No., the general register can be used as an index register.
Data area: 16 bits x 10240

Set data address 1 in general register 1
Set data address 101 in general register 2
Transfer data in data area indexed by general register 1 (1) to data area indexed by general
register 2 (101)
Add 1 to general register 1 content
Add 1 to general register 2 content
Branch to label No.1 if general register 1 content is less than 101
End of Program
Status register
1. Outline
1. In program mode, beside the general register, the status register is provided to monitor deck conditions.
2. A status register has read only capabilities, and can be used as a source register for data transfer instructions and
arithmetic instructions, and used as a destination register and source register for Branch command.
3. When transfer operation etc., of status register is performed, add a " # " (pound sign) symbol before the register No. to
distinguish it from a general register.

ERROR HANDLING
1. OUTLINE OF ERROR TREATMENT
1. This displays error codes to explain the reason why a command cannot be executed, instead of displaying normal completion command responses, when the unit has accepted a command, or when the unit has stopped a command
execution.
2. The unit has an error monitoring function, and can monitor errors occuring when on-line.
3. On-screen error displays are indicated an error is occuring (minimum 2 seconds).
4. Errors which require system reset are of the following 6 kinds: disc abnormality, focus servo abnormality, disc motor
rotational speed abnormality, head lock error, laser error and tilt error. In these cases the unit stops operation, and
errors are indicated. (Power should be cycled)
5. Program automatically stops execution when nesting error, or programming format error have been occured.
6. During programming, error information can be obtained by reading the status register,
(it is desirable to include error treatment modules in the program)
Note: The program automatically shuts down when a nesting error or program error has occured.
Other errors should be handled by monitoring the software program.
